I have just released the initial commit for a PHP CQL binary protocol client. It is not completed yet, I'm currently working on implementing compression, collections, and prepared queries. There is an example of how to connect to a Cassandra server and issue a query, in the examples folder.
Blog post that has link to Github: http://blog.robert.mcfrazier.com/php-binary-cql/ Please take a look and open bugs if you see any issues. -- Thanks, Robert McFrazier
